Get the Dental Care You Need Without Fear, Pain, or Stress

Has anxiety, fear, or past bad experiences stopped you from visiting the dentist? Don’t worry; you’re not alone. Many adults will avoid going to the dentist for years, even when they are in pain, because the sights, sounds, or sensations make them uncomfortable.

​We provide IV sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide. With Dr. Hoover’s specialized training in sedation dentistry, we can ensure you receive dental care without any phobia, pain or stress, all in a comforting and welcoming environment.

How Sedation Dentistry Can Change Your Experience

If you’ve ever avoided treatment because of anxiety, a sensitive gag reflex, or fear of pain then you can understand why having sedation options can make all the difference.

​Our IV sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide options allow you to relax completely during the procedure. Whether you need a simple cleaning or multiple treatments in one visit, sedation helps you stay at ease while we take care of everything.

Sedation Options in Kissimmee for a Stress-Free Dental Experience

We offer 3 levels of sedation. We’ll help determine the best option for you during your consultation.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Nitrous and Oxygen Administered Through a Mask

Best for patients with mild dental anxiety or those who want quick relaxation without lingering effects. For a lighter, fast-acting sedation option, nitrous oxide is a great choice. Also known as laughing gas, it’s administered through a mask worn over the nose and has the benefits of being easy to use on patients of all ages while also being considered one of the safest methods of dental sedation. The effects wear off quickly, so you will be able to drive yourself home after your visit without any downtime.

Oral Sedation

Medication for Deep Relaxation

Best for patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety who want to feel calm without being fully sedated.

If you prefer to stay awake but worry about feeling nervous, oral sedation is a good option. You take a prescribed medication before your appointment, which will put you in a deeply relaxed state while allowing you to remain aware of your surroundings. Many patients describe feeling drowsy and carefree, making it great for those who want a stress-free dental visit while still awake.

IV Sedation

Enter A Dream-like State

Best for patients with severe dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or those needing multiple procedures in one visit. IV sedation is one of the most effective ways to ensure a pain-free, stress-free dental experience. Administered directly into the bloodstream through the vein, this method induces a deep state of relaxation, where you remain responsive but will have minimal memory of the procedure. It’s ideal for patients who need longer treatments or prefer to feel as if they slept through their appointment

Frequently asked questions

What is sedation dentistry?

Sedation dentistry refers to the use of medication to help you relax during dental procedures. Our Kissimmee sedation dentist will make your treatment comfortable, calm, and anxiety-free.

What types of sedation do you offer in Kissimmee?

We offer 3 levels of sedation depending on your needs:

  • Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) — for mild relaxation. 
  • Oral conscious sedation — you’ll be relaxed and drowsy but responsive
  • IV sedation or deeper sedation — ideal for more complex procedures or high anxiety.
Who is a good candidate for sedation dentistry at our Kissimmee practice?

You may benefit from sedation if you:

  • Have dental anxiety or a strong fear of the dentist
  • Have a sensitive gag reflex or difficulty sitting still
  • Need multiple or lengthy treatments
  • Are undergoing complex procedures or have special needs
Is sedation safe?

When administered by trained professionals in a properly equipped setting, sedation dentistry is considered safe. Our Kissimmee sedation dentist will evaluate your medical history, monitor your vital signs during treatment, and tailor the sedation plan to you.

What happens after sedation? Will I be groggy?

Yes, depending on the sedation type. With nitrous oxide, you’ll recover quickly and may drive yourself home. With oral or IV sedation, you’ll likely need to rest and have someone to escort you home. We’ll give you detailed after-care instructions.

Will sedation allow me to get several procedures done in one visit?

Yes! One of the benefits of sedation dentistry is that it allows our Kissimmee dentist to complete more treatment in a single appointment while keeping you relaxed and comfortable.
